"So, in order to understand my review, you have to understand my family. For my wife, her body is a temple and, if she had her way, she would only eat plants that grew in the shade with peer counselors on standby 24/7. As for myself, I am the opposite. This generally means I am at home with pub fare and the like. One child is living proof that the human body can live on nothing but noodles. Seriously, the kid should change his name to Bertoli.... As for the other one, he is a French Fry Eating Machine. Think Joey Chestnut, but 50 pounds in weight. Anyway, on the actual review. Simply put, Llywelyn's is FANTASTIC! I couldn't name another place in town that could make the entire family happy. My Reuben was crazy amazing. Served perfectly, just the way would imagine. No nasty sauerkraut or soggy bread. Just perfect. And my wife absolutely loved her salad. For a vegetarian who only eats the finest of vegetables, this sure hit the spot. And, Captain Noodles gave the kids Mac and Cheese two thumbs up. And this is a kid who complains about everything. So, that is huge. And Mr. French Fried was equally happy. If it weren't for the Department of Family Services having issues with kids parties being hosted by a bar, I would be all for it. As for the service, our server was Brad J and he is simply amazing. He had the patience to deal with small (indecisive and somewhat messy) kids, and did it with a smile. He was extremely nice and and cheerful and, if Management is reading this, please give him reserved parking, a private jet, or something in between. Yes, he is that good! The decor was pretty cool as well. It reminded me of sitting in a traditional Irish pub somewhere in Europe. Very very cool! And, of course, we will most certainly be back!"

"With all the mixed reviews about Samba I wasn't sure what to expect from this place...but then again that can be said about all restaurants I visit. Thankfully, the experience was pleasant and a lot better than I anticipated.<br/ <br/ Samba is located next to the Redondo Pier. If you're looking to have a nice view of the ocean while eating then I highly suggest you go while the sun is still up because once its down, you'll be staring straight into darkness.<br/ <br/ On to the food and service...Our server Ricardo took care of my group continuously filling our drinks without asking. There is a hot bar and salad bar for self serving to go along with the meats that are continuously brought to the table. I have to say I was impressed with the hot bar. Pretty good selections such as stroganoff, pulled pork, chili beans, multiple rice dishes, etc. Ive been to a few Brazilian steakhouses now and have not come across any that had these items for self-serve...two thumbs up for that.<br/ <br/ There was a decent amount of meats brought to the table by multiple servers. I can only recall about two that I felt needed more flavoring (the lamb the well done filet mignon) but all others were great. I really liked the sausages, garlic steak, spicy steak and the Samba signature steak. The two meats I really raved over was the bacon wrapped turkey and the blue cheese chicken. I couldn't get enough of these two. The turkey was very moist with flavorful bacon surrounding it and the blue cheese mixed perfectly with the juices of the chicken and its seasoning. Arguably the best flavor I've had from a dish containing blue cheese.<br/ <br/ Stuffed and satisfied is how I left Samba. I only wish they would have brought out the bacon wrapped turkey and the blue cheese chicken sooner than the steaks. I would have eaten a lot more of the two. There were no Samba dancers dancing around during this visit but I can forgive that. All in all, this was a great dinner and I'd dine at Samba again whether it be this location, Universal City Walk or Vegas.<br/ <br/ Visit Date 3/8/2016"
